- Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered has quickly skyrocketed to become the top-selling game on Steam right after launch.
- The game was shadowdropped by Bethesda in a live stream some time ago for PS5, Xbox, PC, and Game Pass.
- Developed by Virtuous, the remastered edition features stellar visuals and gameplay improvements for a fresh experience.
Rumors about a remastered edition of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion had been circulating for years, fueling considerable anticipation in the gaming community. Now, these rumors have suddenly become a reality, as Bethesda has officially announced its entry in a live stream.
Despite the sudden launch earlier today, The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered has been such a success on Steam that it has already become the top-selling game on the platform.
Why it matters: Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered is quickly rising to become the top-selling game on Steam, suggesting that it will be a massive success for developers and sell millions of copies worldwide.
The Oblivion Remastered has left multiplayer giants like Counter-Strike 2, R.E.P.O., PUBG, and more in the dust. This is a feat that barely any new multiplayer titles can hit, let alone a single-player remastered edition of an RPG that came out a whopping 19 years ago.
This projection suggests that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is already a hit and is expected to sell in the millions across all platforms worldwide. It is also likely selling in droves across consoles, while many others are enjoying it on Xbox Game Pass.
For those not in the know, the remastered entry utilises Unreal Engine 5 to push visuals to new extremes, accompanied by much-needed gameplay improvements, while remaining faithful to everything that made the original shine. It also aims to recreate feelings of memory.
Oblivion Remastered is already out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Game Pass, and PC. The original game on Xbox has also seen a staggering 85% increase in players following the remastered hype.
Do you think The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered will sell like hotcakes in the next few weeks, or is this milestone not enough to paint the full picture? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
